Thought I'd share just a few pics of the house pre- move-in. We love it so much! It's pretty much a blank slate so we're just starting the process of picking paint for each of the rooms and deciding what updates we're going to do first.
Our house hunting process was a long and arduous one, as most of them are. We looked at many, many homes, considered homes in other nearby towns and even put an offer on a house we thought was perfect. The house was a pre-foreclosure and in the end, ended up being a big pain in the ass and just not worth dealing with. We were disappointed but as with everything in life, when one door closes another opens and soon after we found a house that worked for us in the exact neighborhood that we wanted to be in from the very start. We feel so lucky that the previous house we made an offer on didn't work out. Our house is soooooo much better and BIGGER! :)
Like I said before, we've actually made some great progress in just the one short month we've been here. One of the first things we started on was, of course, the baby's nursery! We just put the finishing touches on it yesterday (only two things left to track down- a rocker and a diaper pail) and I will be putting up a post for it and all the details very soon! I LOVE it sooooo much. It turned out amazingly better than I ever expected. There are so many handmade, cool details that both me and my husband came up with and made ourselves.
For now I leave you with a few pics of our house.... gotta say again that they were taken before we moved in so I lay no claim on any of the furnishings. ;)
Traditional colonial
Large foyer!
Yep, that's a lift chair that you spied in the previous pic! Of course we took it for a spin a couple times. :) It's actually come in handy with me being pregnant, I use it to carry heavy boxes and the laundry up and down the stairs. It's for sale if anyone is interested!
My soon to be office/craft/sewing room!
The light and airy sun room.
That house has a TON of potential! Actually, it's not too bad how it is! I can't wait to see what you do with it.
ReplyDeleteHi!
ReplyDeleteHow exciting for you to be moving into this gorgeous house! I agree with Paige in that is has so much going for it, including the lift :)
Oh, and congratulations on your pregnancy...you both must be so excited!
Thank you also for your kind comment on my blog...I haven't given up making bags entirely; I'm aiming for 2 - 3 OOAK bags per year.
take care,
